Lawmaker wants ban on taxpayer-funded ad campaigns against sodas, junk food

Want a Twinkie? The government shouldn't spend any money to convince you not to eat it. At least, that's the premise behind a bill that was just introduced in Congress. The bill, written by Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Tenn., would prohibit federal money from going toward ad campaigns against foodstuffs and beverages that the feds consider safe and legal.
